CompactBases.jl

A package for representing various bases constructed from basis functions with compact support as quasi-arrays.

Stable Dev Build Status Codecov

This package implements bases with compactly supported bases functions as quasi-arrays where one one axes is continuous and the other axis is discrete (countably infinite), as implemented in QuasiArrays.jl and ContinuumArrays.jl. The bases available initially are various finite-differences (FD), finite-elements discrete-variable representation (FE-DVR), and B-splines, with the possibility of adding more in the future.

Note that this package is written by a pragmatic physicist, so you may find it lacking in mathematical rigour.

Example

The big advantage of this framework is that the user code does not need to be aware of the underlying details of the basis employed, at least that is the goal. As an example, we look at how to construct the mass matrices and second derivative matrices for a few different bases.

using CompactBases

function test_basis(B)
    println(repeat("-", 100))
    display(B)
    @info "Mass matrix"
    S = B'B
    display(S)

    # This is the continuous axis
    x = axes(B,1)

    # This corresponds to a operator L whose action on a function
    # f(x) is defined as Lf(x) = sin(2πx)*f(x). In physics this is a
    # potential.
    @info "Sine operator"
    f = QuasiDiagonal(sin.(2π*x))
    display(B'*f*B)

    @info "Laplacian"
    D = Derivative(x)
    display(B'*D'*D*B)
    println(repeat("-", 100))
    println()
end

a,b = 0,1 # Extents
N = 3 # Number of nodes
k = 5 # Order of FE-DVR/B-splines

Finite-differences

The available finite-differences (as of present) are three-point stencils, with the first grid point at either Δx (normal) or Δx/2 (staggered).

Δx = (b-a)/(N+1) # Grid spacing
# Standard, uniform finite-differences

FE-DVR

The FE-DVR implementation follows

The scalar operators are diagonal, whereas differential operators are almost block-diagonal, with one-element overlaps.

# Finite-element boundaries
tf = range(a, stop=b, length=N+2)
# By indexing the second dimension, we can implement Dirichlet0
# boundary conditions.
test_basis(FEDVR(tf, max(2,k))[:,2:end-1])

B-splines

All operators become banded when using B-splines, including the mass matrix, which leads to generalized eigenvalue problems, among other things.
